Waukesha County sets no countywide night cap. Under Wis. Stat. 66.1014, a municipality may limit rentals of 6 to 30 consecutive days to no fewer than 180 days per year, and cannot ban rentals of 7 consecutive days or longer.
Wisconsin caps how far local night limits can go. Under Wis. Stat. 66.1014, for a residential dwelling rented in periods of more than 6 but fewer than 30 consecutive days, a municipality may limit total rental days within any 365-day period to no fewer than 180 days. It may not prohibit renting a residential dwelling for 7 consecutive days or longer. Waukesha County imposes no separate countywide night cap; any cap comes from your city, village or town within these statutory floors. The state licensing threshold is separate: a DATCP tourist rooming house license is required once you rent more than 10 nights a year.
Exceeding a lawfully adopted local day cap can bring municipal citations and fines; the cap itself cannot fall below the 180-day statutory floor.
